The drugs used in the treatment of prostatitis are used in different combinations, both in the acute form of the disease and in its chronic stage.
Antibiotics and NSAIDs
Antibiotics are prescribed to kill the pathogenic bacteria that cause the disease and reduce the acute or chronic inflammatory process. Release form of these drugs can be tablets, capsules, injections, rectal suppositories.
In men, treatment of acute prostatitis can be carried out with the following antibacterial drugs from the group of fluoroquinolones, which have a wide effect.

In the case of ineffective antibiotic treatment or in the case of a non-bacterial disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed.
NSAIDs actively suppress any inflammation, reduce puffiness, and have pronounced analgesic properties. Due to the adverse effects of these drugs on the patient's gastrointestinal system, short-term courses of drug administration are recommended weekly intervals.
Hormonal

Alpha blockers
Prostatitis often causes urinary problems. Muscle relaxation is needed to facilitate the flow of urine. For this purpose, the doctor prescribes alpha blockers.

With prostatitis, many men experience strong pain syndrome, pain when urinating blood. All medications taken, to one degree or another, influence the source of the pain. However, they may not always be able to fully cope with unpleasant feelings.
With strong pain syndrome, analgesics are indicated.
The drug is available both in the form of tablets and solution for injection. Doctors note that it is better to influence the source of the pain in liquid form. On their basis, enemas are performed. This preparation quickly approaches the source of pain, helping to cope with the pain syndrome in a short time.
Sedative
Prostatitis is characterized by not only psycho-physiological changes. With one disease, a man suffers from reduced capacity, problems with erectile function. The penis is not always ready for intimacy.
Men began to worry a lot about this. After all, violation in the sexual field for many patients is one of the most serious manifestations of the disease. Therefore, the patient's psychology is affected.

Rectal suppositories
Drugs for treatment of prostatitis are carried out with the mandatory use of rectal suppositories. Suppositories are a more acceptable dosage form, as they act directly on the source of inflammation. In this case, the pain and negative processes are quickly eliminated.
Dissolved in the rectum, the ingredients are immediately delivered through the bloodstream to the diseased organ. That is, the effect occurs after 15-20 minutes. This is especially true when the pain from inflammation becomes intolerable.
Unlike suppositories, the same tablets or capsules first enter the stomach, then, dissolve, pass through the liver, at the same time losing a number of beneficial substances and properties.
